Chemical Reactions Practice Tests

These Grade 10 Science practice tests develop evidence of chemical change, reactants, products, reaction types, balanced equations, conservation of atoms, catalysts, energy changes, and reaction rates.

Skills covered

  • Identifying precipitates, gas formation, temperature changes, color changes, and other evidence of chemical reactions
  • Distinguishing reactants and products and applying conservation of matter to chemical equations
  • Classifying synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, combustion, neutralization, and redox reactions
  • Balancing equations with coefficients while preserving chemical formulas and state symbols
  • Explaining exothermic and endothermic reactions, activation energy, catalysts, collision theory, concentration, temperature, and surface area

How to use these practice tests

Read the equation from left to right, count each type of atom, and classify the pattern. When analyzing rate or energy, connect the observation to particle collisions and activation energy.
